[markpeterson]

Anyone interrested in starting the prep work for the tees at Dineen? Anyone man enough to step up? call me at 1-262-224-5824.

[sleepy]

I wouldn't want to be bring tools out there so they could get jacked, lol. :D

[kellerthedog]

i'll need to bring my 9mm fo sho

[sleepy]

I would help, but there would need to be a group of other people out there with me.

[markpeterson]

Thanks ,So that's a yes than? Team swed will help.And I will to .

[tmart59]

I can help...are we talking about June or next week?

[markpeterson]

No work on Dineen until after the GMO because we won't be able to finish in time.We'll wait until after to do the tees. Thanks Mark

[uwmdiscgolfer]

i think a work day, perhaps a pick up trash day, at dineen would be in order. From what i remember, the park could use a clean up in the trash dept.
i would be willing to do some work, perhaps this weekend, if anyone is around.

[amdiscgolfer]

If there are peeps going to the park - I am willing to help!

Shark - you dont think we can get the short pads in before the GMO?

[markpeterson]

No. To much rain and only one sat beforethe tourny.

[markpeterson]

Baskets will be in by sat afternoon.Most should be in by 4:00 friday. The county guys are a little confused. Thats been the hold up. Mark

[tmart59]

Is there anyone available to work Dineen next Saturday (6/2/7) @ 8AM? We need to move some gravel & set the frames in the ground for the new tee pads. Please bring shovels, metal rakes, wheelbarrows, and/or a hammer. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

[tkieffer]

I can put in some time on Saturday morning. See you at 8:00!

[markpeterson]

The wood should be there friday afternoon.I can't make it but hopefully plenty of others can. Any questions give me a call. Thanks Shark

[tmart59]

Mark, thanks for your help.

I'm urging all who can make it on Saturday (6/2/7) to come to Dineen. Even if you have limited time...come out & work on one hole. Any amount of effort will make the day much shorter for everyone.

Thanks in advance.

[tmart59]

Thanks to everyone who showed up today (The Loper Clan, RJ, Kyran, Keef & Charley). It was hot in the sun but we got nine tee pads set into the ground and ready for concrete. That leaves 8 more pads for next week.....be there!

[dloper777]

AWESOME !

Tim....you guys are simply MOTIVATED!

Great job out there today! We enjoyed being a small part of our great history of Wisconsin Disc Golf along side of you R.Johnson, Keef, Charley, Kyran....and all the others volunteering thier time and labor!

OOOOOORRRaaaaaaAAAAAAAhhhhh !!!



Loper Clan

[tkieffer]

A fine job by the 8 guys who showed up! Good to see the Loper crew out there, and it was nice to meet R. Johnson! The 'old standbyes' (in stature and longevity!) of Tim S and the Lime Kiln crew (Charlie and Kyran) were once again out there working hard!

Well, 9 forms are ready for cement, but we need more bodies if we are going to pull this off! There are 9 more forms to finish, cement to pour into 18 tees, 18 pads to surface finish, piles of dirt that need to be moved, forms that have to be removed after the pads dry and so on. At Dretzka and Brown Deer, the new teepads still need back filling. Everyone, I know that it is tough to get a work day together now that the baskets are back in (sorry Sleepy, but your theory on more volunteers by putting baskets in was proven wrong this past Saturday), but there is still a lot of work that has to be done. Can we get enough volunteers by just asking, begging, pleading and so on, or are more serious measures needed? Would it make sense to suspend leagues or pull the baskets at a couple of courses until all are finished? I know that depending on the same handful of people to finish things for Worlds isn't fair. Where are all the people who talk so well about helping out but somehow never manage to show?

We need help this weekend. Please come out and help finish the courses in Milwaukee!

[msbatka]

How about a morning of work followed by an afternoon round of random draw doubles with a short lunch break in between? A nice mix of work and pleasure. I'm available this Saturday.

(sorry Sleepy, but your theory on more volunteers by putting baskets in was proven wrong this past Saturday),

Um like I said before announce it at leagues about future workdays. I guarantee more than half the people I know do not look at this. I didn't receive my emails until the morning of. Definetely face to face is better than the internet.

Sounds like a great idea. So, since you will probably be at leagues (I know I won't), can you take care of this 'face to face' contact at tonight's Dretzka league and get a crew together for Saturday morning at Dineen? Let's see it!

[sleepy]

Well first I seen of your post I worked and went straight to leagues no announcement of a workday at Dineen was announced that I heard of. I am busy this Saturday and can't attend sorry.

[markpeterson]

concrete is comeing at 9:30. We need to get the rest of the tees ready by then.Bring freinds please. Shark

[dloper777]

Mark,

If you provide me with just one can of soda.............I will sell my boys for a FULL days labor !! Ha.


The Loper's will be there !!!


Dlo


No need for announcments at leagues to let people know work needs to be done on our courses. For those about to "rock" on Saturday....I salute you !!

So let's start posting what we will do....and stop posting what we won't do ! Aaarrghhhh !

Semper fi.

[uvpop]

Shark-

I assume that all the pads will be poured then this saturday? Can we all agree to a uniform finish on the pads? I think Kozy is right in that brush marks across the ENTIRE surface is the way to go. Then there is no opportunity for slippage. I will be there, and will bring a bucket for water and tools to finish the pads. There was one really good broom the last time we did this, with red handle. Whoever brought that broom, bring it again! We will get this done.

charley

p.s. Don, the bribery of soda for the Loper boys.... I like it! What flavor????

[tkieffer]

Let's do it! I plan on being there at 8:00 and joining in with the 'pad preparation' crew. We need to dig out and frame 8 pads before cement arrives for them. Shovels, wheelbarrows, rakes and people to utilize them are all needed. Let's get the pads poured!

On a side note, we may need people to come out and watch the pads after noon so that no one writes their names, tries to play them before they are dry and so on. Anyone available to hang out at Dineen for a couple of hours after we are done?

[dloper777]

Charles:

I think I'm no longer up for the soda bribe up front....I decided to take the lifelong "kickback" of playing on these pads.........so Nate and Jac labor is free!!! Ha.

Tkieffer............bring your discs folks.......maybe a few putts and holes played can be arranged afterwards.


Dlo

[kellerthedog]

and your wallets......that is if you accept the challenge, for doubles

[tmart59]

I'm there @ 8AM for pad prepping! Let's get it done and ignore the critiques. We should be happy to know that we did it together!

[uvpop]

If I get my PINK star aviar, I will take no prisoners at DIneen saturday after we work!

Radtke

[markpeterson]

I'll be there at 7:00 am with a sledge hammer in one hand and a shovel in the other, dirt flying and all. A pink avair, how cute . Don't forget your wittle bwanky to Chuck. Mark

[hole5guy]

I should be there assuming my swollen nut doesn't fall off before then. Don't ask, don't tell. This is my first post on the board, i thought it should be filled with unnecessary personal info...Don't worry about me though, I can still wield a shovel.

[tkieffer]

Big time TMI !!!

See everyone tomorrow.

[msbatka]

I'll be there tomorrow.

[msbatka]

There weren't a lot of people at Dineen today, but those who were worked hard. There are now 18 concrete tee pads and an anchor for the practice basket which should be in next week. Everyone involved should be proud of the 45 new holes in Milwaukee County!!!


Mike

[dloper777]

OOOORRAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH !!!!

Superior job well done today!

I am proud to have had the priviledge to work along side each of you.

Mark Peterson..........by far another name etched into the Wisconsin history books !

Dlo

[uvpop]

Just so MARK knows, yes, I am talking to you Peterson.....

I got my 174g PINK aviar (star) today...... I am ready to...do they say "rumble"???????

[markpeterson]

Ive seen you drive.So for your sake ,I hope that putter is magical. Bring it to league ,that's the only time I get to play, and we'll see what the putter and putt-e have got. Shark

[dloper777]

Mark,

You didn't remind Charlie to bring his "wittle bwanke" along with that
magical Pink putter?

Hahaha.......go get em Charlie!!

Dlo

[uvpop]

Is Shark calling me out?

Gee, I wonder if I could get some sidebets going???? Of course, I can take a dive too Shark, don't forget that.

[markpeterson]

I know you can ,you've made a career out of it(disc golf not woodworking).Side bets,what would you like to give me oops,I mean lose on a wager? Maybe a pink putter? On a more serious note the county should have removed the forms from the tees by now ,I hope , if anyone can put together a small group of people to do some minor back filling around the tees then 98% of the hard work will be done at Dineen. Has anyone been there to see if the 2x4's are off the tees? Mike Batka is the new course pro at Dineen. A great BIG THANK YOU from the GLDGC to Mike for stepping up!!! I'm working on a keiosk for Dineen and Brown Deer. Mark

[1951]

Hey Mark, I was over to the park about 1:30 PM on my way back from the Loper's and the forms were still on holes 9,10, 11, 18. I did not walk all around though.
I will be building the bridge next week at my house but will not get it installed until early July probably.

[dloper777]

Mike,

Thanks my friend, for bringing Jacob's disc!!!

He will need it tomorrow at the Pickle for sure.

Your the best !


Dlo

[markpeterson]

I'll be at Dineen at 7:30 am on thursday with Mike Batka to pull the forms and back fill the dirt. After that I plan on going to Brown Deer to do some tee work as well. This is an open invite to everyone who can make it with a shovel and wheelbarrel. Shark

[msbatka]

The tee pad forms have been removed and space around the pads has been filled in. I'll be back this weekend to sweep the pads (if Will Mueller hasn't) and rake the remaining dirt from around them. Also, all 18 baskets were moved today. According to Mark Peterson, a few of the baskets have never been in their current positions. Get out there and check them out. The Am Worlds layout will be set up in a few weeks. Finally, there is now a practice basket between the tee pads for holes 1 and 10.

[MARKB]

Good job guys, I havn't been around much at all lately with work and the classes I am taking. The courses are looking good.

[hole5guy]

I don't know if there is a way to link it, but if we can link the Am Worlds map for Dineen to the course directory portion of the PDGA website it would probably be helpful for newcomers.

Most people I run into there or who talk about the course say it is hard to follow (especially for me since the first time I played it it was dark).

I think the AMWorlds map is very helpful and if it could be linked on PDGA it would make the course a lot more user friendly. Sweet map by the way for whomever designed it and posted it.

Just an idea, I'm not always right you know, there was that one time where I said Zubas would be the fashion craze of the future, boy was I wrong.

I'm out,

Will

[msbatka]

Please send me a private message if you are willing and able to lend a lazer range finder to me for a few days.

Thanks,


Mike

[superberry]

Just buy a Yardage Pro from Walmart for $100-$150. They're totally worth it. Use club funds and pass it around between clubs so everyone can have GOOD measurements.

[msbatka]

Someone has come through with a loaner.

[msbatka]

FYI - All of the baskets at Dineen Park that clearly have long and short positions are in the long ones. Hole #10 will be moved short soon to allow for a fallen tree to be cleared.

A third pin position will be added to a few holes later this year or next Spring. I'm also working on a surprise out there. It would definately debut next Spring along with tee signs.


Mike

[cjgomez]

the suspense is killing me Mike!! :) Can't wait to see what you have in store for us.
It's been while since I've been to Dineen, looking forward to playing out there soon.

[superberry]

Across the pond shot?!

[markpeterson]

Dineen will stay open until sping thaw. The internet says that it will close Dec 1st. That info will remain on the PDGA course directory. I don't like haveing to many people playing regular courses in the winter. Dineen doesn't get the summer play that the other courses get. Thats why it will be open this winter. Baskets will be pulled March 1st (more than likely). Thanks to Mike Batka for doing lots of stuff out there. The county carpenters are supposed to be putting in a permenant bridge sometime. Will this happen? I don't know (when).They removed the old (new) one because it did not have a hand rail.There should be a keosk out there in spring also. Tee signs are in the works. Thanks Shark

[markpeterson]

Hey!! Well it sounds like we need to find a new course pro for Dineen park. I don't think Mike would be doing it from Mad-town. If anyone is interested, I would love to here from you. If anybody thinks that they could urge their friend into it, go for it. Being the course pro could mean as little as taking a few e-mails and moving baskets to starting a league ,making new plans, or doing anything needed to improve the park/course. If someone has had a interest indoing something positive in discgolf but wasn't sure what to do ,now is a rare and golden chance to step up. Thanks Mark the shark.

[markpeterson]

Well I would like to thank Will Mueller for stepping up and saying that he would be willing to take the title off of Mikes hands. That is way cool. Thank you for your help Mike, Good luck in Madcity( has anybody warned them yet). Will also Thank you. Look forward to seeing you on the course. Shark

[pathamill]

Will
I was out at Dineen today and it might be time to move baskets.
It looks like there has been a lot of trafic with it being the only course in right now.

[hole5guy]

Pat,

I think I moved the baskets right after you played. I saw your car when I got there. Thanks for noticing.

It seems like the course is holding up pretty well and once the others open I'm sure it will be left alone enough to heal.

With the exception of a few areas the course seems to have taken the spring well.

Luckily most of the non-regulars don't seem to know about the course at all. I was at the bar tonight with a Dretzka shirt and was stopped by more than 5 strangers, none of whom knew Dineen existed.

Hopefully I am able to recruit some people for next Tuesday's doubles/trash pick-up festivities.

-Will out
